What a special little boy who became a very special man. You have blessed my life.

I sadly was never able to meet you up close. From what your son says, I'm sure you were amazing. God bless you for your service.

It is hard to believe that we sat together in high school, talking about our future. You once said, "My plan is to make a difference." Your passion and love for others proved it on 9/11. To the entire Gillis family: Sir RODNEY will never be forgotten. You all will forever be in our prayers.

Rodney, you were the 1st person that made friends with me and my brother John when I first moved to Watkins street. You were such a special person from the moment I met you. You will never be forgotten. Thank you.
Your friend,
mae

You have worked with my father as a New York finest. You are a brave heroic person that many people would look up to. You were a great officer and loved by your family. God bless you for being a hero on 9/11/01.

Rodney,
We worked together in the 77 pct and met each other here and there after we both left the 77 to do bigger and better things in our careers. I would like to say you were a professional in every sense of the word and you are missed. The world has lost a great person....I wish your family much peace. I think of you often, your family needs to know what a great Boss you were. And what a great cop you were. You are truly a Hero.

Rodney is an inspiration to me. We had to write a report for school about our hero, and I chose Rodney for his brave deeds in the world trade center

I miss you so very much. I wish every day that this day could be September 10, 2001, when we last talked and laughed and, unknown to us both, said our final good night. I wish every day that you had come home and yet I know that was something you could not and would not have done given who you are and your dedication to an humantarian service you believed in so much. So many people love and miss you. The daily calls and words of inspiration are comforting and we all know you are here with us in magnificent spirit.
You would not believe all the goings-on right up to this day, but then maybe you would especially since some of it you had predicted. Your wisdom and sense of descernment has proven a reality and I continue to stay strong in the Lord, your direction, strength and unconditional love for all of us. Mom

Post your memorial thoughts:
Share your feelings and memories of grief and
sadness concerning the 9-11-2001 attack, or of positive memories. If you knew this
person, help us to build a small 'bio' of the person and share with
us something about his/her life:
what kind of person he/she was,
what nice points you remember about him/her,
what kind of relationship you had with him/her,
what you two perhaps did together,
what he/she meant to you,
or other things about him/her might be especially encouraging
for other people.
This web site is intended solely as a means of allowing all of us to express our grief and sympathy in behalf of the people who lost their lives, and also our love and compassion towards those who lost loved ones and friends in the 9/11/01 tragedy. The site is strictly for memorial mentions of those who passed away in the tragedy, not of other people who have passed away.
Our hearts are very touched with concern in behalf of those people, and it is to them that we dedicate this web site. It is not our intent to venture into the realms of WHO should face judgement, to take responsibility for those terrible events, because we have no way of knowing for sure who all might fall into that category. Therefore, any letters or notes written passing judgment upon any person or group will not be published on this site. We do NOT want this site to be a base for expressions of hatred, but only for expressions of LOVE!
9-11Heroes.us is a personal effort, not a business, nor is the site dedicated to any specific person or persons. We will not post negative comments. Moreover, 9-11Heroes.us reserves the right to choose which comments to post and also to edit the comments for spelling, punctuation, grammar, or edit comments that are unkind or offensive in some manner.
Thank you for your understanding in these matters.

This web site is affiliated with 24K Gold Music Shows - an oldies music showband performing in Central Florida. The members of the showband feel strongly that there were many heroes manifested during the onslaught of terror associated with 9-11, and present this site as a memorial to those whose lives were lost, and the loved ones they left behind.
24K Gold Music Shows perform primarily 50-60s Oldies, Elvis songs, DooWop, and older country music, as well as patriotic songs. All of the musicians, singers, dancers, and staff of the 24K Gold Music Shows extend their deepest sympathies to every one who lost loved ones on that terrible day.
24K Gold Music Shows performs an original song called "The Day America Cried", which is a 9-11 tribute song. In the live shows, they honor with the song not only the heroes of 9-11 but also those who are still alive: the police personnel, firefighters, emergency personnel, soldiers, and others who have served our country and kept us all safe.
Listen also to this beautiful, touching song "Love Can Build a Bridge" by 24K Gold Music Shows. Even though strictly speaking it's not a 9-11 memorial song, I still feel it is a very fitting song for the occasion!
